Summary

"Green trench coat. He's got a silver wedding ring on." Gordon replies with a befuddled expression. Why would that matter to you? You hadn't seen him as far as he knew.

...But you had.

You resist the urge to glance at a nearby table where a lone human being is sitting, anxiously bouncing his leg up and down as he runs his fingers through his hair. A silver wedding band sits on his ring finger, partially hidden underneath the long sleeves of his coat. The ring glints under the restaurant's intense lights as he moves, which is what initially attracts your attention to him. The guy is looking right at you, so you don't dare look at him in fear of provoking him. Even worse for you? He's the only guy in the entire restaurant that fits the description, so you know it's him.

Summary

Amy McGuire never expected to be involved in the dingy world of London’s gangster underground, but that changed when Darby Sabini marched into her father’s butcher shop. The Italian gangster gave her two options-infiltrate rival Jewish gang leader Alfred Solomons’ rum distillery, or her father would die. But espionage really wasn’t Amy’s strong suit, and neither was seducing older, very dangerous men. She knew she’s have to pluck up the courage and leave her old life behind, lest her father meet his demise at the end of a pistol. But would Alfie succumb to her innocent charm? Or would she find herself in pieces, drifting down the river in a rum barrel bound for Timbuktu?

Summary

"Stop flirting with the twink," Lambert grumbled. "I want a beer and we're already getting dirty looks for holding up the bar."

Jaskier let out an insulted gasp. "Excuse you! I’m clearly an otter!" He hissed at Lambert, swiping the ten out of his outstretched hand.

"A what?"

"An otter," Jaskier annunciated, pressing his hand to his chest where his shirt was unbuttoned probably more than health & safety would have liked, showing ample chest hair. He needn't have called attention to it though, Geralt had already been looking at it.

Summary

Diana Cavendish has quite the rough day at Luna Nova and had learned information that maybe was better to be unheard of, and what other best way to end the rough day than have a crowbar swing at full force right at your face!

Summary

AtsuHina Week, Day 1: Crime AU.

The moment Atsumu realized he’d fallen in love with Shouyou was the moment he went from “’Tsumu” to “Atsumu-san”. Not only the way he called him changed; he changed as well. Shouyou just had that much power over him.

Summary

Being the right hand of a mob-boss certainly has its merits; luxury, power and respect. The only problem though: Jae doesn’t belong to this world of twisted morality and dead. Not even for the person who is the reason for his dilemma. If only Jae hadn’t fallen in love with Kang Younghyun back in college, maybe then he wouldn’t be losing his mind to the shadow drowning him in madness ten years later.

Jae needs to get out of Seoul and that fast. (And maybe finally get rid of Younghyun all the same.)

Or: the mafia AU where Jae comes home to a dead body and somehow blames Younghyun for everything that follows (because hating him is so much easier than admitting that Jae still loves him even after so many years have passed).

Summary

Clearly, he thinks, it had been wrong from the start. From the moment he’d served Lan Wangji coffee for the first time, from the moment he’d remembered him, from the moment he’d given him the time of day. That was it. That was the selling point, wasn’t it? He’d fallen right into his trap, into the rabbit hole, ending up in an entirely new world and situation. Even if he hadn’t thought so at the time. He was still just the baker, and yet he wasn’t anymore. That had just been the beginning.

AKA

Lan Wangji is a mafia boss, who never forgot Wei Wuxian from his childhood. When he reconnects with him one day at his café where he works, he decides that he is going to make Wei Wuxian /his/.

Summary

When most people talked about death, they always talked about it as something natural, and nothing to be scared of — even if they were lying to themselves. People said it was an inevitable, inescapable thing that everyone experienced. You only lived once, so make the best of it. Live with no regrets.

But Izuku isn’t like most people. For six years he was believed to be Quirkless — useless and incompetent. Not worthy of breathing the same air as everyone else because he was Quirkless. He was four when society decided he wasn’t worth acknowledging. At ten years old he realized that death wasn’t the end for him. Death was just the beginning because he couldn’t die.

Because of this new power, his mother decides she must train him as a vigilante. The world is cruel, and unforgiving to people with Quirks like Izuku’s. His vigilante name is whispered in the back alleys of Musutafu, Wisteria.

At twelve he watched his mother die, and the his entire world shattered. His mother — the vigilante Attraction — was dead. And he vowed to destroy the people who killed her. Even if he died, again and again. He would avenge her.

Summary

[ Kyo had started young, as most of them do, meeting Sugizo and learning very quickly to call him Mr. Sea. The next thing was earning his nickname “Dragon” by one of the few tattoos that adorned him back then. Jokes about changing it to “Fenix” or “The Tiger” were popular among his peers. But nicknames didn’t tend to change in their world, unless it meant something else.Like the first time “The Princess” got called “The Queen”. ]
